Hi, nyLsel!
I think being nervous is just a normal feeling when you are playing with someone stronger than you and you want to win! This reaction usually do not last long and only during the start of the game.
Just inhale deeply through your nose and then, long exhale by your mouth and this feeling will disappear! To make it short , "relax ka lang... kaya mo yan!"

Nothing fights stress better than awkward boners during OTB games.

Based on your activity and rating on this site, you are a strong player and you should go into the game thinking your opponent should be nervous about YOU, not the other way around.
But, beyond that, simply look at the board and play the moves. Forget about the fact that your opponent is older or "experienced"; that means nothing. The only thing that counts is what is on the board. And if he makes a move that you consider weak, don't beat yourself up trying to analyze his deep deep strategy. It's likely that he simply made a weak move; take advantage of it.
Finally, remember that the absolute WORST thing that can happen is that you lose a chess game. You won't come out of it with broken bones or missing teeth. Now, if you told us that you were going into a wrestling ring with an opponent 200 pounds heavier and much stronger than you, I would agree you had some cause to be nervous.
What an insight MSteen! Your really a good and smart chess player. Thanks for the compliment and the tips.
I will now not be afraid on playing chess against much stronger opposition. ^.^
